ASSAULT ON JUSTICE.
Coward1y Attempt to Assasinate Police
Judge Fitzgerald, of Cincinnati. who Has
Made Himself Terror To Eyil-Doers.

Cowardly Attempt to Assasinate Police
Judge Fitzgerald of Cincinnati. who Has
Made Himself Terror To Evil Doors.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1.-The attempt upon
the life of Judge J. W. Fitzgerald, Of the
Police Court, last night has produced
profound feeling. The Judge has for
long time been the terror of evil-doers,
but no one has ever ventured to charge
HIM with any feeling but that of desire
to vindicate the law and to punish and
prevent crime. Only yesterday he had
nearly hundred cock fighters before
him, and in all cases where plea OF
guilty was made he fined them twenty
five dollars and costs. There are still a
number of these cases pending to be heard
on Friday. The circumstances of the at
tack made last night gives color to
the suspicion that some one interested on
behalf of these defendants had under
taken the desperate scheme of numbering
the Judge. The time for the guilty deed
was well chosen. The Judge was alone in his
library preparing decision in submit
ted case. His son and his sons wife had
gone to the theater. When the door bell
at the side entrance rang the judge an.
swered it in person. He says he saw
man with a black face there, who said
Judge Fitzgerald?n The judge answered
''well.n Just then the caller drew white
hand from his overcoat pocket, and the
judge caught the glitter of the
weapon in time to jump aside just be-
fore the shot was fired. He fell with an
exclamation, and the assassin doubtless
thought he had accomplished his pur.
pose. The servant girls came to his help
and neighbors were summoned 1t was
found that he had not been wounded,
though the ball cut through his coat.
He was greatly Frustrated by the
nervous shock. This was greater
because, although he had not be-
fore made it known, this was not the
first assault he has suffered About
week ago, after attending business
meeting near the courthouse, he started
home, when some one hurled a brickbat or
boWlder at his head and narr owly missed
his aim. 1t was dark and the Judge could
not see his assailant, who in stantly ran.
The judge appeared as usual on the bench
this morning. He says he has no doubt
he can recognize the voice and form of his
assailant.

Inc Central Traffic association and the
lnter-State Commerce Bill.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The managers Of the
Central Traffic Association held a meeting
in Commissioner Blanchard's off ce yester-
day. There was large attendance, but
as the Interstate Commerce bill, which
was to have furnished the principal theme
for discus sion, had not been signed by
President Cleveland, it was deemed mad
visable to debate the bill, OR to take any
action with reference to it until
1t had become law. 1t was decided,
however, to refer all matters pertain
ing to the bill to the executive committee
Of the association, which is to meet at
Cleveland next Tuesday. A resolution
was adopted pledging the roads en-
oraced in the association to the abso-
ute maintenance of rates. It was
also resolved that it was the sense of
the meeting that the present association
and pool contracts in existence thereun-
der be continued, and obligations involved
therein be carried out in good faith until
the Interstate Commerce bill becomes
operative.

"That night, continued the Colonel,
Il wrote over to General Davis about
Mason's bravery; how he captured the
Confederate flag and led the regiment
to victory; in fact, saved the battle;
and begged him if he had not approved
Masons sentence of death, to send it
back to the court unapproved. In an
hour the messenger came, back with the
papers. The sentence had been APP
proved before the battle, bat General
Davis took his pen and wrote across

distinguished bravery in capturing

"What did Mason say when you told
him about his promotion ?" I asked.

that they could be again removed
without any damage to the chair, and
they have been so removed. 1t is true

chair was slightly darkened. That to
was done so as to be easily capable Of
being undone, and the chair is now

ning-rod man, gloomy as one of his
own pet thunder clouds, drives up to
the door and alights and looks over
the field. Handsome calf, my boy.
Looks strong and healthy, don't he?"
says he to the boy. Calf tugs at the
rope while the boy looks up and says:
"Strong! well guess he is strong. Pa
tied him to a alightning-rod on the side
of the house day before yesterday and
he snapped her off quicker'n scat. He's
awful strong. He is a very strong

man cleared in an instant. He drove
over to the Auburn mans office and
